The Print Residency Program at Nopoint Atelier is created to provide artists with time and space to explore, research, and exchange ideas while having access to a fully equipped silkscreen and risograph studio. Its focus is on offering technical support and guidance from a professional who has worked with these printing techniques in order to provide artists with a better understanding of the process of screen and riso printing.
During the program, artists will go through all stages of creating a silkscreen and/or risograph print edition - from the creative part of designing, through file separation, mixing paints, exposing screens, printing, and signing the edition.
Artists receive guidance from a technical point of view, helping them understand and consider the possibilities and restrictions that screen and riso printing hold. Artists are supported in exploring possible problematic moments, finding solutions, and making sure they end up with a well-prepared file, ready for printing.
And then comes the actual work - the preparation for printing and printing itself.
Artists end their printmaking residency with printed and signed silkscreen and riso editions. Artists are expected to leave 5 copies of each edition for the studio, and the rest of the edition stays for the artists.
The printing residency program also encourages exchange and collaboration, creating new connections, and meeting fellow artists, that is why artists participate in groups of up to three people, who share the space during the two-week program.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Application is open to artists and designers working in all fields of art. For artists working in illustration, photography, graphics, and painting, printmaking might seem pretty straightforward. Yet artists working in the fields of graphic design, sculpture, modern art, theatre, calligraphy, digital or contemporary art, are more than welcome to explore printmaking as an addition to their usual work. As only a few spots are available, participants pass a selection process.
HOW TO APPLY?
Dates and terms for the 2025 Print Residency program will soon be announced!
